You'd Never Know This Remote Saloon Is Hiding In Utah And It's Delightful

This quaint little saloon has been featured on television shows and in national magazines. You'll find it at 7350 E. 200 S., in Huntsville.

The Shooting Star definitely has all the legal requirements covered with these signs. If you wander in here without knowing that this is an establishment that serves alcohol, then you've probably already had too much to drink.

In its more than 135 years of business, the saloon has only had seven owners.

Since this saloon is the oldest continually operating bar in the Beehive State, you might wonder how it stayed open during Prohibition. The legend is that it did in fact keep serving alcohol. The owners relied on friends to alert them when police were on the way. When the owner did finally get arrested, his wife kept the place open. They took turns sitting in lockup and running the bar, trying the patience of local law enforcement until Prohibition was repealed.

The St. Bernard is "Buck," who belonged to a previous owner. Buck appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest St. Bernard in the world - an honor he held for seven years. When he died in 1957, he was given a permanent place in the saloon.

You could spend an entire afternoon here, just looking at all the memorabilia on the walls.

The Star Burger has two beef patties and a Polish knockwurst. with gooey cheddar melted all over everything.

Visit Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 9 PM; Sunday from 11 AM to 8 PM.
